Cydia eraser for iOS 11 Electra Jailbreak – You should Unjailbreak

If you have been following the jailbreak news recently, you should know by now that Saurik has warned everyone to stay away from Electra Cydia Jailbreak. Everyone knows that Saurik is the creator of Cydia and if he is warning us to stay away, we probably should. If you are looking for a solution to remove Electra Jailbreak, here is a step by step tutorial for delectra script. This script can be called Cydia Eraser for iOS 11.

Why remove Electra Jailbreak?

Well, everyone jailbreaks for Cydia and the Saurik is the creator of it. If you go to the Twitter handle of Saurik, you will see a public announcement where he is warning everyone to avoid using Electra Jailbreak. This is not something he usually does. The reason behind this warning is because Cydia uses something called Substrate to work properly. And Coolstar, maker of Electra Jailbreak, used something different in his version of Cydia. This will probably cause a lot of issues in future when more and more tweaks start to adapt to this “newer” cydia.

While Saurik warned everyone to stay away from Electra Jailbreak, he also told everyone that he will release the real cydia substrate in “relative near future”.
